Re: Grammy Awards - major restructuring
I know there are people here who will think of that as a bad thing, but I think it's a good thing. Twenty years ago, how many of those voters were the least bit familiar with ki hoalu and its players? If the recent attention paid to slack key came at the expense of people knowing OTHER kinds of local music, I'm okay with that for now. It makes sense. Most of us, when we first got into whatever music we love, were introduced the same way.
